Romans 2

The first part of this chapter warns against condeming others for there sins. This is a big fault for some christians and it is what alot of nonbelievers see us as, condemers. I try to see others as if they were myself. That way I will not be so quick to judge them. But to say that I do not judge others is wrong of me becuase on some level I will always judge them.
The next part is actually split, I believe, by a heading. It talks about the law in concordance to gentiles and the law in concordance to Jews. Giving them specific instructions for their " interpritation" of the Law based on their culture. There must have been a few Jewish people in Rome at that time especially as it was the custom to bring back slaves from conqured countries. Otherwise I don't know why Paul would talk about the Jewish perspective unless he was just explaining to them what was expected of the Jewish people.
